Anansa walks onto the Bridge and over to Spock just as Outpost 4 along the Romulan Neutral Zone is destroyed she hides her head on Spock's shoulders and he subconsciously cups her shoulder with his hand she slides out of his embrace and walks over to Spock's console as the mystery ship "disappears" and he follows "Outpost 4.... disintegrated Captain"  Spock says after he checks his consoles report that she had brought up for him "position of the intruder, Mr. Spock"  Kirk says "disappeared interesting how they became visible for just a moment"  Spock replies "when they opened fire perhaps necessary when they use their weapons"  Kirk says "I have a blip on the motion sensor, Captain could be the intruder"  Spock says Kirk turns and orders "go to full magnification"  Sulu says "screen is on full mag, Sir"  Kirk looks at the Viewscreen and says "I don't see anything I can't understand it"  Spock tells Kirk "invisibility is theoretically possible, Captain the selective bending of light but the power cost is enormous they may have solved that problem"  Uhura informs Kirk "continuing to Challenge, Sir still no response"  Kirk says "discontinue contact remaining Outposts, have them Signal us any sightings or Sensor Readings in their area"  Uhura replies "yes, Captain"  Spock says "blip has changed it's Heading, Captain and in a very leisurely maneuver they may not be aware of us Kirk replies "their invisibility screen may work both ways with that kind of power consumption.... they may not be able to see us"  Spock says "his Heading is now 111.... Mark 14 the exact Heading a Romulan Vessel would take, Jim-- toward the Neutral Zone.... and home"  Kirk walks around the Bridge and says as he passes by Sulu's station "parallel course"  Lieutenant Stiles who is working the Navigation Station asks "don't you mean interception course, Sir?"  Anansa replies "don't allow your need for revenge and hatred for a species you have yet to even see take over your duty"  Stiles looks at her and says "shut up freak!"  she replies "I'm not the one contradicting the Captains orders and I may be a freak to you but I have just as much right to speak my mind as you do besides you may out rank me but you are not my boss so I think it's best that you never try to order me around ever again especially in such a disrespectful manner boy! and if you can't do what you're told then step out of that chair and allow someone who can!"  he asks with a rude tone "like you!?!"  she replies with a matter of fact tone "precisely!"  Sulu chuckles as Stiles turns his attention back to his console Kirk smiles for everyone on the Bridge knows that she can very well handle every station in the entire ship with supreme accuracy "though I would respectfully recommend we stick with a security alert, just to be safe, Captian"  she says looking at Kirk "I agree, Sir"  Sulu says "very well all decks, Security Alert"  Kirk replies as he heads back to his chair  "Security Alert, Sir"  Sulu says "picking up Communication, Sir it's from their ship"  Uhura says "pipe it in"  Kirk replies "sounds like code, Sir"  Uhura says after she's done as she was told "we have a fix on it, Captain"  Spock says as he and Anansa work on his console together Kirk stands up out of his chair and walks over to where Spock and Anansa are as Spock says "I believe we can lock on it, get a picture of their Bridge"  Kirk replies "put it on screen"  Spock does as he's told and they see a group of men with strange looking helmets on and one man without a helmet who turns around and when he turns they see that the man has Vulcan like features "oh boy!"  Anansa whispers Spock looks at her with a curious expression on his face she nods over at Stiles who looks at the man on the Viewscreen then Spock and Spock begins to understand what she was referring to and feels her place her hand on his shoulder and spins him back around in his chair so that he was facing his console and he smiles she walks over to Uhura's station and listens to the coded message Uhura looks at her "I was curious if their coding is similar to Vulcan"  Anansa says softly Uhura nods "no I don't think Spock is a Romulan after all from the look on the man we saw on the Viewscreens face it's possible they embrace their emotions but they could be distant cousins or perhaps a group of "ex" Vulcans who left Vulcan a very long time ago so they didn't have to follow the teachings of Surak I even doubt they'd be any more welcome on Vulcan than humans are besides even if I did think what Stiles thinks I don't condemn one person for the faults of the many the Romulans may have done Earthlings wrong but as far as I can recall Spock never has"  Anansa whispers Uhura smiles she walks over to Spock with the tape Uhura made and asks "do you think they were away during the war and don't know about the Treaty!?"  he looks at her with a raised eyebrow "there was a Treaty wasn't there!? the Neutral Zone wouldn't have been made without it would it!?"  she asks "there was and it could be possible"  he replies "or he could be another Stiles or worse"  she says he smiles she slides one of her tails along his cheek then leaves the Bridge.... a few minutes later they were back to Battle Stations Anansa sighs and rolls her eyes "don't you humans know that war is never the answer!?"  she whispers to herself losing the small bit of appetite she had she covers her food and puts it in her fridge for later then she heads back to the Bridge  where a comet is seen on the viewscreen "almost looks like my tails wouldn't you say Star!?"  she says with a smile Uhura smiles Spock looks at Anansa and sees the sadness in her eyes as she turns back around and walks back out Spock knew why she left she didn't want to become a part of a war which was bound to happen one way or another she comes back onto the Bridge and helps him try and fix the Phaser Overloaded burnt out Circuit with the area being so small her and Spock's hands kept "meeting" each other as they worked which Spock tried very hard to ignore so he could focus on the task at hand.... no pun intended.... "Captain, are they surrendering?"  Sulu asks as the Romulan ship becomes visible and is shown on the Viewscreen "I'd say they're pissed"  Anansa says softly Spock looks at her Kirk hides a smile then says as he moves to sit in his chair and sees the Romulan ship attack then disappear "full Astern! Emergency Warp Speed!"  after a pause he asks "do we have Emergency Warp?"  Sulu replies "full power, Sir it's still overtaking us"  after a pause he says "if we can get one phaser working, Sir one shot will detonate it"  Kirk says "Navigation?"  Stiles replies "estimate it will overtake us in 2 minutes, Sir"  Kirk says "Phasers, Mr. Spock?"  Spock replies "impossible, Captain"  at about 10 seconds to impact the blast from the Romulan weapon starts to dissipate which means they found the range limit of the weapon fired and yet the Enterprise still felt the impact of what was left behind and Spock grabs ahold of Anansa and hugs her so she doesn't get hit by the frame of the Compartment they were working in once the impact subsides he lets her go and they finish their work then help each other stand "Phasers operational, Captain"  Spock says once they're on their feet then he looks through the scope at his station and says "intruder baring 111 Mark 14"  Kirk replies "back to his old course"  Spock says "he may think we're destroyed, Captain"  Kirk replies "I wouldn't make that assumption I don't think their Captain will, either"  Anansa says "perhaps he just wants to go home but I'm betting you're not going to let him"  Kirk smiles at her "intruder holding steady course 111 Mark 14"  Spock says Sulu looks back at Kirk then at the View Screen "same as before, Mr. Sulu stay with him"  Kirk says Sulu moves the Enterprise so that it once again shadows the Romulan ship Anansa smiles at Spock who looks at her with a raised eyebrow "I've got your station you go bother Stiles"  she whispers he smirks then walks over to the Navigation Station and leans over Stiles' shoulder, looks down at the console then up at the Viewscreen and at Stiles who looks at him then he walks away "we'll enter the Neutral Zone in one minute, Captain"  Stiles says "do we violate the Treaty, Captain?"  Bones asks "they did, doctor"  Spock replies "once inside they can claim we did-- a setup they want war we furnish the provocation"  Bones says "we're still on our side, Captain"  Spock says "let's get them while we are before we enter the Neutral Zone"  Kirk replies then he orders "full ahead, Mr. Sulu Maximum Warp"  Sulu replies "ahead, Sir-- maximum"  Anansa shakes her head but says nothing after all they have the right to make the Romulan pay for the deaths he caused when he attacked the Outposts but she wonders if this way not only is the right way but the only way to do so "Phasers, standby"  Kirk says "Sir, at this distance...."  Stiles replies "we know their Achilles Heel, Mr. Stiles their weapon takes all their energy they must become visible in order to launch it"  Kirk says "a Phaser hit at this distance would be the wildest stroke of luck"  Stiles replies "I'm aware of that, Mr. Stiles are Phasers ready?"  Kirk asks "Phasers show ready, Sir"  Stiles replies and Kirk orders him to fire....
